We prove that there exist finitely generated, stably finite algebras which are not linear sofic. This was left open by Arzhantseva and Păunescu in 2017.

Let $\textsf{T}$ be a triangulated category with shift functor $\Sigma \colon \textsf{T} \to \textsf{T}$ . Suppose $(\textsf{A},\textsf{B})$ is a co-t-structure with coheart $\textsf{S} = \Sigma \textsf{A} \cap \textsf{B}$ and extended coheart $\textsf{C} = \Sigma^2 \textsf{A} \cap \textsf{B} = \textsf{S}* \Sigma \textsf{S}$ , which is an extriangulated category. We show that there is a bijection between co-t-structures $(\textsf{A}^{\prime},\textsf{B}^{\prime})$ in $\textsf{T}$ such that $\textsf{A} \subseteq \textsf{A}^{\prime} \subseteq \Sigma \textsf{A}$ and complete cotorsion pairs in the extended coheart $\textsf{C}$ . In the case that $\textsf{T}$ is Hom-finite, $\textbf{k}$ -linear and Krull–Schmidt, we show further that there is a bijection between complete cotorsion pairs in $\textsf{C}$ and functorially finite torsion classes in $\textsf{mod}\, \textsf{S}$ .

Suppose that R is an associative unital ring and that $E=(E^0,E^1,r,s)$ is a directed graph. Using results from graded ring theory, we show that the associated Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ is simple if and only if R is simple, $E^0$ has no nontrivial hereditary and saturated subset, and every cycle in E has an exit. We also give a complete description of the centre of a simple Leavitt path algebra.

The algebraic K-theory of Lawvere theories is a conceptual device to elucidate the stable homology of the symmetry groups of algebraic structures such as the permutation groups and the automorphism groups of free groups. In this paper, we fully address the question of how Morita equivalence classes of Lawvere theories interact with algebraic K-theory. On the one hand, we show that the higher algebraic K-theory is invariant under passage to matrix theories. On the other hand, we show that the higher algebraic K-theory is not fully Morita invariant because of the behavior of idempotents in non-additive contexts: We compute the K-theory of all Lawvere theories Morita equivalent to the theory of Boolean algebras.

We generalize the shuffle theorem and its $(km,kn)$ version, as conjectured by Haglund et al. and Bergeron et al. and proven by Carlsson and Mellit, and Mellit, respectively. In our version the $(km,kn)$ Dyck paths on the combinatorial side are replaced by lattice paths lying under a line segment whose x and y intercepts need not be integers, and the algebraic side is given either by a Schiffmann algebra operator formula or an equivalent explicit raising operator formula. We derive our combinatorial identity as the polynomial truncation of an identity of infinite series of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_{l}$ characters, expressed in terms of infinite series versions of LLT polynomials. The series identity in question follows from a Cauchy identity for nonsymmetric Hall–Littlewood polynomials.

We prove the extended delta conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson, a combinatorial formula for $\Delta _{h_l}\Delta ' _{e_k} e_{n}$ , where $\Delta ' _{e_k}$ and $\Delta _{h_l}$ are Macdonald eigenoperators and $e_n$ is an elementary symmetric function. We actually prove a stronger identity of infinite series of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_m$ characters expressed in terms of LLT series. This is achieved through new results in the theory of the Schiffmann algebra and its action on the algebra of symmetric functions.

In earlier work, the author introduced a method for constructing a Frobenius categorification of a cluster algebra with frozen variables by starting from the data of an internally Calabi–Yau algebra, which becomes the endomorphism algebra of a cluster-tilting object in the resulting category. In this paper, we construct appropriate internally Calabi–Yau algebras for cluster algebras with polarized principal coefficients (which differ from those with principal coefficients by the addition of more frozen variables) and obtain Frobenius categorifications in the acyclic case. Via partial stabilization, we then define extriangulated categories, in the sense of Nakaoka and Palu, categorifying acyclic principal coefficient cluster algebras, for which Frobenius categorifications do not exist in general. Many of the intermediate results used to obtain these categorifications remain valid without the acyclicity assumption, as we will indicate, and are interesting in their own right. Most notably, we provide a Frobenius version of Van den Bergh’s result that the Ginzburg dg-algebra of a quiver with potential is bimodule $3$-Calabi–Yau.

For every group G, the set $\mathcal {P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup $ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot $, and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot $ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$. We show that if the group G is finite, non-Dedekind, and solvable, neither the semiring $(\mathcal {P}(G),\cup ,\cdot )$ nor the involution semigroup $(\mathcal {P}(G),\cdot ,{}^{-1})$ admits a finite identity basis. We also solve the finite basis problem for the semiring of Hall relations over any finite set.

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of the multiplicative group $D^*$. We show that if N contains a nonabelian solvable subgroup, then N contains a nonabelian free subgroup.

We study the ring of quasisymmetric polynomials in n anticommuting (fermionic) variables. Let $R_n$ denote the ring of polynomials in n anticommuting variables. The main results of this paper show the following interesting facts about quasisymmetric polynomials in anticommuting variables:

1. (1) The quasisymmetric polynomials in $R_n$ form a commutative subalgebra of $R_n$.

2. (2) There is a basis of the quotient of $R_n$ by the ideal $I_n$ generated by the quasisymmetric polynomials in $R_n$ that is indexed by ballot sequences. The Hilbert series of the quotient is given by

   $$ \begin{align*}\text{Hilb}_{R_n/I_n}(q) = \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor} f^{(n-k,k)} q^k\,,\end{align*} $$
   where $f^{(n-k,k)}$ is the number of standard tableaux of shape $(n-k,k)$.

3. (3) There is a basis of the ideal generated by quasisymmetric polynomials that is indexed by sequences that break the ballot condition.

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. We prove that if R is either an equidimensional finitely generated algebra over a perfect field, or an equidimensional equicharacteristic complete local ring with a perfect residue field, then the annihilator of the singularity category of R coincides with the Jacobian ideal of R up to radical. We establish a relationship between the annihilator of the singularity category of R and the cohomological annihilator of R under some mild assumptions. Finally, we give an upper bound for the dimension of the singularity category of an equicharacteristic excellent local ring with isolated singularity. This extends a result of Dao and Takahashi to non-Cohen–Macaulay rings.

In this paper, we study the Koszul property of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a generic collection of lines in $\mathbb {P}^n$ and the homogeneous coordinate ring of a collection of lines in general linear position in $\mathbb {P}^n.$ We show that if $\mathcal {M}$ is a collection of m lines in general linear position in $\mathbb {P}^n$ with $2m \leq n+1$ and R is the coordinate ring of $\mathcal {M},$ then R is Koszul. Furthermore, if $\mathcal {M}$ is a generic collection of m lines in $\mathbb {P}^n$ and R is the coordinate ring of $\mathcal {M}$ with m even and $m +1\leq n$ or m is odd and $m +2\leq n,$ then R is Koszul. Lastly, we show that if $\mathcal {M}$ is a generic collection of m lines such that

$$ \begin{align*} m> \frac{1}{72}\left(3(n^2+10n+13)+\sqrt{3(n-1)^3(3n+5)}\right),\end{align*} $$

$n \leq 6$

$m \leq 6$

We introduce a family of norms on the $n \times n$ complex matrices. These norms arise from a probabilistic framework, and their construction and validation involve probability theory, partition combinatorics, and trace polynomials in noncommuting variables. As a consequence, we obtain a generalization of Hunter’s positivity theorem for the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials.

We define a class of invariants, which we call homological invariants, for persistence modules over a finite poset. Informally, a homological invariant is one that respects some homological data and takes values in the free abelian group generated by a finite set of indecomposable modules. We focus in particular on groups generated by “spread modules,” which are sometimes called “interval modules” in the persistence theory literature. We show that both the dimension vector and rank invariant are equivalent to homological invariants taking values in groups generated by spread modules. We also show that the free abelian group generated by the “single-source” spread modules gives rise to a new invariant which is finer than the rank invariant.

We establish a Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch-type theorem and a Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch-type theorem for matrix factorizations on quotient Deligne–Mumford stacks. For this, we first construct a Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg-type isomorphism explicit enough to yield a categorical Chern character formula. Then, we find an expression of the canonical pairing of Shklyarov under the isomorphism.

We prove the flow tree formula conjectured by Alexandrov and Pioline, which computes Donaldson–Thomas invariants of quivers with potentials in terms of a smaller set of attractor invariants. This result is obtained as a particular case of a more general flow tree formula reconstructing a consistent scattering diagram from its initial walls.

A twisting system is one of the major tools to study graded algebras; however, it is often difficult to construct a (nonalgebraic) twisting system if a graded algebra is given by generators and relations. In this paper, we show that a twisted algebra of a geometric algebra is determined by a certain automorphism of its point variety. As an application, we classify twisted algebras of three-dimensional geometric Artin–Schelter regular algebras up to graded algebra isomorphism.

We study the symplectic leaves of the subvariety of fixed points of an automorphism of a Calogero–Moser space induced by an element of finite order of the normalizer of the associated complex reflection group. We give a parametrization à la Harish-Chandra of its symplectic leaves (generalizing earlier works of Bellamy and Losev). This result is inspired by the mysterious relations between the geometry of Calogero–Moser spaces and unipotent representations of finite reductive groups, which is the theme of another paper, C. Bonnafé [‘Calogero–Moser spaces vs unipotent representations’, Pure Appl. Math. Q., to appear, Preprint, 2021, arXiv:2112.13684].

Motivated by a new conjecture on the behavior of bricks, we start a systematic study of minimal $\tau $ -tilting infinite (min- $\tau $ -infinite, for short) algebras. In particular, we treat min- $\tau $ -infinite algebras as a modern counterpart of minimal representation-infinite algebras and show some of the fundamental similarities and differences between these families. We then relate our studies to the classical tilting theory and observe that this modern approach can provide fresh impetus to the study of some old problems. We further show that in order to verify the conjecture, it is sufficient to treat those min- $\tau $ -infinite algebras where almost all bricks are faithful. Finally, we also prove that minimal extending bricks have open orbits, and consequently obtain a simple proof of the brick analogue of the first Brauer–Thrall conjecture, recently shown by Schroll and Treffinger using some different techniques.

Let K be a number field, let A be a finite-dimensional K-algebra, let $\operatorname {\mathrm {J}}(A)$ denote the Jacobson radical of A and let $\Lambda $ be an $\mathcal {O}_{K}$ -order in A. Suppose that each simple component of the semisimple K-algebra $A/{\operatorname {\mathrm {J}}(A)}$ is isomorphic to a matrix ring over a field. Under this hypothesis on A, we give an algorithm that, given two $\Lambda $ -lattices X and Y, determines whether X and Y are isomorphic and, if so, computes an explicit isomorphism $X \rightarrow Y$ . This algorithm reduces the problem to standard problems in computational algebra and algorithmic algebraic number theory in polynomial time. As an application, we give an algorithm for the following long-standing problem: Given a number field K, a positive integer n and two matrices $A,B \in \mathrm {Mat}_{n}(\mathcal {O}_{K})$ , determine whether A and B are similar over $\mathcal {O}_{K}$ , and if so, return a matrix $C \in \mathrm {GL}_{n}(\mathcal {O}_{K})$ such that $B= CAC^{-1}$ . We give explicit examples that show that the implementation of the latter algorithm for $\mathcal {O}_{K}=\mathbb {Z}$ vastly outperforms implementations of all previous algorithms, as predicted by our complexity analysis.
